LA SALE county, Illinois, of which Ottawa
is the countyseat, is agitated by discoveries
of wholesale frauds that have been perpetrated
by it's Democratic officials There seems to
have been a contest among them as to who
should get his hands deepest into the treas
ury. A committee appointed by the County
Commissioners to investigate the accounts
have found the ex-county clerk short 500, 900,
the ex-probate clerk short ST., 900, the ex-
county treasurer short 1000, and the ex-
sheriff short SO. 900. The committee say they
have spent long months in examining the
books and accounts of officers who had left
them in deplorable condition on account of
their evident criminal determination to rob
the county by defacing, erasing and changing
dates in fee books and papers on ile." Of the
the sheriff the report says: ''There has been
a reckless extravaganza, total disregard Of
the forms of law, and various INSCRIPTIONS,
injurious schemes and devices resorted to
whereby he might enrich himself at the ex-
pense of the taxpayer and unfortunate
suitor." This is sickening state Of affairs,
and indicates very low standard of political
morals. There ought to be enough honest
men in the county, irrespective of parties, to
see that the thieving rascals are brought to

Good Suggestions of Gen. Lew Wallace.

Boston journal.
The remarks which Gen. Lew Wallace made
at his lecture in Springfield Wednesday night
will attract more attention than what he said
about Turkey and the Turks" He said that he
had not the strength to give war incidents, as
requested by ex-soldiers in the audience, but he
would make two suggestions. The first that
the Grand Army apply to the widow of General
Grant for permission to have mis- bones removed
to the national Capital, where its members
by giving 81 for each man, would erect
monument BETTING the man, which
New York seemed unwilling to do The next
suggestion was in reference to pensions for the
thousands of old soldiers whose strength was
shattered in the conflict, and who have no pen
sions. At the close of the war. when they could
furnish evidence, they were too proud to ask:
now, the legal proofs which they once could have
furnished have disappeared. Many of these men

are supported by the Grand Army. Geuef&l
Wallace would like to see q list of such CAGES
made up by the Grand Army posts, and he sug-
gested that veterans vote only for those candt-
dates for Congress who are friends of the vet
eran. He proceeded to cay that formerly the
proof of freedom was the power to vote but this
is no longer the case. The power to have the
vote counted after it is cast has become the test
of liberty, and there at least four great
States in this Union where that right is denied
to large class of citizens.

THE way in which the process of vulcauzing
rubber came to be discovered by the Goodyears
was told to a reporter of the New York Times by
one John Dixon. an employe Of the Goodyears,
as follows:
'.The men had habit of chewing rubber much
as the modern schoolgirl chews gum One day
while Dixon and Irishman were carrying
some rubber on an iron hand barrow to the oven
the Irishman was taken with fit of coughing as
he passed barrel of sulphur. and involuntarily
spat out his rubber cud. 1t fell into the barrel.
Setting down the barrow he made grab for it
and recovered it. The sulphur, however, ad-
hered to its moist surface. and he threw it down
with an expression of disgust 1t fell upon the
barrow, and was put into the oven with it.
When the barrow was taken from the oven Dix
on saw that the little piece of rubber had as
sumed new appearance. He examined it care
fully, and became convinced that ne held in his
hand the key to the discovery Mr.. Goody had
been searching for. He took the little thing to
Mr.. Goodyear, who, when he saw it, became
much excited Dixon told him the circum-
stances under which the change had been effect
ed, and Mr.. Goodyear set his and Dixon at
work experimenting It WAS several months be-
fore they succeeded, but they finally learned the
secret of making vucanized rubber"

said of an art critic: He does not want our

THE Boston Herald gives nearly half-col.
umn of space 70 an account Of the departure Of
Slugger Sullivan from that cultured city on his
bination. More than one thousand persons as
sembled at the train to bid him adieu, and they
cheered him Justify. Several ladies' real "ladies
were present, and the champion gallantly
erasped their hands and thanked them for their
good wishes and congratulations. Then a little
miss made big hit by presenting him with a
bouquet, and the slugger tenderly raised her in
his arms and kissed her. Floral offerings were
showered On him and two handsome designs,
bearing the words "Our Champion" and "Suc-
cess" were borne to his sleepingcar. The po-
lice had great difficulty in clearing way for him
to reach his car, and as the train moved out
there was general waving Of hats and handker-
chiefs. Among the prominent citizens who babe
him good-by were Larry Kennedy, Patsey Shep-
pard. Dick Melville. Jimmy Carnie. Joe Lannan,
Jack McAuliffe, Tom Kelly, Mike Sullivan,
Jim McKoen, Billy Muldoor, Jimmy S,!vey,

at least one dreaded disease that sci

stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure

Catarrh being a constitutional disease
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and

On last Friday the following ap-
peared in the dailies, as dispatch
from Chicago:
"About midnight laborer named
Michael Maloney, drunk and bespat-
tered with blood, came to the Chicago
Avenue Police Station and stated that
he had cut the throats of his daughter
and SON."
"Oficers were detailed" continued
the dispatch, to investigate the case,
and found that the man had gone
home drunk, and his children had at
tempted to put him to bed, when he
attempted to cut their throats. The
boy was killed, and the girl nearly So.
But hold! Don't get frightened, and
lift up your hands in holy horror at
this awful picture. This is perfectly
legitimate! This Chicago man went
into a business house in Chicago
such business houses as are permitted
everywhere-an purchased a little
whisky and beer, for his own benefit
1t made him look manly, and gave
him an appearance Of dignity and
character to fill himself with poison
and get out on the streets and howl,
and walow in the cutters. The fellow
who sold the stuff had family to sup
port, and if he did not sell poison to
other men, and rob their families. he
would have to go to work to support
his own family. Surely there are
none so hard-hearted as to wish that
the poor, sickly, swelled and blosted
creatures who stand behind bars, might
be forced to go to work.
This Chicago doggery-keeper sold
this poison to this man, without
knowing or caring the exact extent of
the deviment it would cause He
knew he was conspiring against the
public peace, and possibly endangerihg
human life; but what need he care?
His business is respected, and the
death of few victims here and there
ought not to cast stigma upon this
honorable business" If man go
off and Kill his family, it gives bad
name to the place of business, and
therefore makes the poor, innocent
Devils Imp behind the bar hate his
victim. What is needed is a race of
drunkards who can drink constantly,
and never get drunk. These poor,
innocent Imps must live without work,
and it is a shame that men should go
eff and get drunk, and create in the
public mind q suspicion that the
bloated tubs behind the bars do not
constitute a class Of angels. Let the
drunkard kill his family; let the
country go to ruin; let the Devil
reign supreme; but don't try to cast
any unjust reflections upon the poor,
innocent, bloated doggery-keeper.

On certain occasion, during the Min
istry of our Savior upon earth, man was
brought before him who had the Devil in
him. We say" "a man." for every man
who had the Devil in him was not
brought. Many were permitted to run
then, just as they do now. But this man
with the Devil in him was not such a pos
tive nuisance as his prototype of to-day,
because this Devilish man was dumb, and
if he could not subscribe to the work of
righteousness, he could at least keep his
mouth shut. Nevertheless, the Devil was
cast out, and the dumb spalle. The null
titude marvelled, avowing that it never
was so seen in Israel. Truly, it was some
thing to marvel at, but there are occur
